To count down by days to a certain date or event highlight the following script with your mouse. Then press Ctrl and C to copy it. Locate where you want the count down to show on your web page and press Ctrl V to paste it to your page.

The blue text is where you change the size of your countdown text
Replace the text that you see here in red with your own text.

• The first is the date you are counting down to.
• The next two are what you want it to read two days and one day until the event - be sure they will make sense!
• The last one announces that the event has arrived
